We remember some, but there were so many that it is nearly impossible to remember, or know, about them all. The one that sticks in my mind the most was when he broke his wrist. I still cringe when I see it replayed. Although I will never say that I played at the same level as KGJ, I can say that I played with the same level of enthusiasm. I was the guy who would come to the plate with a bit of blood dribbling down my leg or elbow. I was the guy in HS who barrelled into the catcher on a close play at the plate. I was the guy ended each and every game looking like Pig Pen. Gawd, I loved it. I was lucky though that I never actually did any lasting harm to my body while playing baseball. The closest thing was when I had my rt hand stepped on when I dove back into 1st base and broke two bones in the back of my hand.
